Prof Yaacov Katz obtained his B.A in psychology and education, his M.A. in educational counseling and his Ph.D. degree in education. During his academic career, he has specialized in the research of psycho-pedagogical variables related to two major areas, namely religious and values education and educational technology. In his research he has investigated the relationship between psycho-pedagogical variables and the enhancement and promotion of religiosity and values of students in the educational system as well as the relationship between religiosity and values on the one hand and cognitive and affective outcomes on the other[1]. In addition Prof Katz has examined psycho-pedagogical models related to the utilization of advanced educational technology for learning and instruction in the educational system from the elementary school level up to university level. Based on his research he has suggested the adoption of psycho-pedagogical models that promote the enhancement of efficient use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in educational settings and frameworks[2]. In the course of his research activities Prof Katz developed an advanced survey methodology that promotes increased precision in the surveying process as well as increased validity in the results and conclusions of his research. The development of this advanced survey methodology resulted from close cooperation between Prof Katz, Prof Dov Te'eni and Dr Nahshon Margaliot.

In the course of his academic work and research Prof Katz has maintained long term working relationships with internationally renowned scholars and has closely collaborated with prominent academics in religious education and values and educational technology such as Prof Jeff Astley of Durham University, Prof Margaret Cox of Kings College London, Prof Leslie Francis of Warwick University, and Prof John Hull of Birmingham University all from the U.K; Prof Marina Stock-McIsaac of Arizona State University, and Prof Dick Cornell of the University of Central Florida, both from the U.S.A; and with Prof Hans-Georg Ziebertz of the University of Wuerzburg in Germany. One prominent example of his international collaboration was the establishment of a research team comprising researchers from Denmark, Finland, Greece, Israel, Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom that conducted and published research on the psycho-pedagogical correlates of affective education and values. Together with this research team he was awarded a prestigious ESRC grant in order to finance ongoing research on the psycho-pedagogical issues affecting values education.

He is a member of influential and prestigious international academic and research organizations such as International Seminar for Religious Education and Values (ISREV), European Affective Education Network (EAEN), International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and International Council for Educational Media (ICEM) and has cultivated excellent working relationships with members of these organizations and is well recognized as an expert in his fields of research. In addition he is a member of a team of experts nominated and budgeted by the Israel Academy of Sciences to review the Israel school civics education curriculum.

Due to the recognition Prof Katz has received as an internationally known researcher in the areas of religious education and values and the utilization of ICT in education, he has been invited on numerous occasions to present keynote and plenary presentations at international scientific conferences on the topics related to his expertise.

Prof Katz is a member of the editorial board of a number of prominent scientific journals, such as Education and Information Technologies (EAIT), International Journal of Jewish Education Research (IJJER), Journal of Computer Assisted Learning (JCAL), and for a number of years served as deputy editor of Educational Media International (EMI). He has also edited a number of scientific volumes included in the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) series on ICT and education published by Chapman and Hall as well as by Kluwer Science Publishers. In addition, Prof Katz has served as a referee of submissions made to Teachers College Record and Computers and Education, two prestigious, prominent and influential journals in education.

Prof Katz was a member of the directorate of ISREV, the most prominent and prestigious scientific organization dedicated to the study of religious education and values. He has edited a scientific volume containing research papers authored by ISREV members. He has also served as a committee member of the International Council for Educational Media, an international NGO affiliated to UNESCO. Prof Katz is an active member of the educational sector of the IFIP and is a founding member of the EAEN and has edited two scientific volumes based on research conducted by members of EAEN. In addition he has co-coordinated a number of research projects conducted by EAEN members.

In the sphere of academic administration Prof Katz has served as the Deputy Head of the School of Education, Bar-Ilan University (1992-1997), as Head of the School of Education, Bar-Ilan University (1997-2001), as Head of the Institute for Research and Advancement of Religious Education (1989-1990), as Head of the Institute of Community Education and Research (1994-2001), as Head of the Institute of Integration in Education (2009-2010) and as Head of the Baker Center for Early Childhood Development (2011-2013). He served as the Chairperson of the Pedagogic Secretariat (Chief Pedagogic Officer) of the Ministry of Education (2001-2006) where he was responsible for the development national pedagogic strategy, as well as for the development of curricular policy, standards and benchmarks for the Israeli educational system. At present he serves as Acting President of Michlalah Jerusalem Academic College.
